The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise in rolling pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 10.4m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 2.8m - 3.7m; H 0.4m) with an internal fosse (Wth. 2.3m - 2.9m; D 0.5m). The E half of the central area is largely occupied by a horizontal concrete slab from which a pipe protrudes. Immediately W of this is a shallow depression and a scattering of stones.
